Linear relationship between resistance and temperature

Steps:

• Resistance increases uniformly, so R is linear with temperature t: R = a + b t.
• Use table values to find slope b = ΔR / Δt.
• Calculate intercept a using one point: a = R - b t.
• Solve for t when R=160: t = (160 - a) / b.

Not enough information: The table of R values is missing, preventing calculation of the linear fit.

Why B is correct:

• Cannot verify without table data.

Why the others are wrong:

• A: Cannot verify without table data.
• C: Cannot verify without table data.
• D: Cannot verify without table data.

Final answer: Not enough information.
